    Hi Ace,

    I've not worked on Exchange (2000) for some time now, but I dimly seem
    to recall that the Adminpak from the Windows 2000 CD was what was
    required to give Exchange functionality in ADUC. I seem to remember
    that the Exchange Tools were for managing Exchange only. Am I
    mis-remembering, or is it different for Exchange 2003?

    Cheers,

    Cliff
